What I Do For Charter Schools
(How Charter Schools Will Know Me)

I conduct research and data analysis in support of the League's legislative agenda, internal operations, and on behalf of member schools. I also work on the Charter School Facilities Initiative (CSFI), which provides comprehensive state and national data regarding the landscape of charter school access to quality facilities.

On Charter Public Schools

As a first-generation college graduate myself, I am strongly committed to expanding opportunities for low-income and first-generation students. I strongly believe that charter public schools can help increase educational equity by fostering a more innovative and accountable education system.

Background

I moved to Colorado in 2012 as part of a volunteer teaching program. After teaching, I went into commercial real estate research where I focused on economic and demographic analysis, supply and demand forecasting, and valuation. I also learned advanced spreadsheet skills and Visual Basic for Applications (VBA). In my free time, I like working on computer programming projects, reading, exercising, and spending time with my fiancé. I graduated summa cum laude with a B.A. in History from Whitman College in 2012.
